Matrox® Extio™ 3 is the world’s first IP KVM extender to deliver 4Kp60 4:4:4 UHD performance and multi-display capabilities at unprecedented low bitrates. Leveraging a standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network, Extio 3 works with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) network switches and significantly diminishes the total cost of ownership to deliver a scalable KVM matrix switching solution.
Matrox KVM extenders help centralize hardware in a climate-controlled server room to increase security, protect systems against environmental hazards, and reduce system noise and heat emissions. Extio 3 grants seamless remote access to these secured systems, plus smart control of multiple systems over the IP network. Ideally suited for process control, industrial automation, healthcare, transportation, emergency and dispatch centers, military, defense, government, broadcasting, and post-production.
